Awards and Programs

Every year, DSEA presents the Education Support Professional of the Year Award to a DSEA member whose contributions to students, schools, and our organization are reflective of the important role ESPs play in public education.

Since 2010, more than $200,000 worth of fruits, vegetables, and meat from Delaware farms has been served in school cafeterias as part of the Delaware Farm-to-School Program. The collaborative effort seeks to coordinate opportunities for districts to network with Delaware farmers and promote the enhancement of healthy, local feeding options for our schools.

The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate are discussing legislation which will establish a National ESP of the Year award, much like the National Teacher of the Year award. Learn more about the bills and see how you can get involved and help this legislation succeed.
